When New England Patriots QB Tom Brady hit rookie WR Malcolm Mitchell for a 56-yard touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers it marked the 63rd different player to catch a touchdown from Brady in the regular season. Only journeyman QB Vinny Testaverde has thrown touchdowns to more unique receivers over the course of his career (70!).
Brady ranked ahead of QB Brett Favre (61) prior to the game and broke his tie with QB Steve DeBerg (62). What makes Brady so special is the fact that he’s accomplished this feat with the same franchise, meaning he’s survived multiple rounds of personnel turnover.
